Curfew, John Blockley, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Solemnly, mournfully, Dealing its dole,

The Curfew Bell Is beginning to tole.

Cover the embers, And put out the light;

Toil comes with morning, And rest with the night.

Dark grow the windows And quench'd is the fire,

Sound fades into silence - All footsteps retire; No voice in the chambers, No sound in the hall! Sleep and oblivion Reign over all.

The Curfew Bell Is beginning to toll,

The Curfew Bell Is beginning to toll.

The book is completed, and closed like the day, And the hand that has written it lays it away; Dim grow its fancies, forgotten …

I've learn'd to look with lover's eyes On Home ... sweet Home!

Up On The Housetop, Benjamin Russell Hanby

Score Collection

According to William Studwell in The Christmas Carol Reader, "Up on the House Top" was the second-oldest secular Christmas song, outdone only by "Jingle Bells", which was written in 1857 (although the latter was originally intended as a Thanksgiving song). It is also considered the first Yuletide song to focus primarily on Santa Claus. In fact, according to Readers Digest Merry Christmas Song Book, Hanby was the first to offer up the idea that Santa and his sleigh land on the roof of homes.

Benjamin Russell Hanby was born in 1833 near Rushville, Ohio, the son of a minister involved …

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo: A Political Commercial & Matrimonial Song And Chorus, Thomas William Robertson, Ferdinand Wallerstein

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Political. When Ministers in dread and doubt,

Lest they should be from place kick'd out,

Get up, 'gainst time an sense to spout

A long dull ev'ning through

What mean they then

by Party Clique, Mob Orators and factions weak?

'Tis only would they truth but speak,

But Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Cock-a-doodle-doo, Cock-a-doodle-doo, Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Cock-a-doodle-doo, Cock-a-doodle-doo, Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Commercial. When Companies, whose stock of cash

Directors spend, to cut a dash,

Are forc'd to avertise and smash,

And Bankruptcy go through;

When tradesfolk live in regal state,

The goods they sell, adulterate,

And puff in print why that's their prate,

But Cock-a-doodle-doo?

Cock-a-doodle-doo, …

Darling Nelly Gray, Benjamin Russel Hanby, Thomas Brigham Bishop

Historic Sheet Music Collection

1. There's low green valley on the low Kentucky shore, There I've whiled many happy hours away, A sitting and a singing by the little cottage door Where lived my darling Nelly Gray. CHORUS: Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken you away And I'll never see my darling any more, I'm sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day, For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore. 2. When the moon had climb'd the mountain and the stars were shining too, Then I'd take my darling Nelly Gray, And we'd float down the river in my …

We'll All Meet Again In The Morning - The Revellers' Chorus, Benjamin Russel Hanby

Score Collection

The occurrence which prompted this song actually occurred recently in a city of California. Some nineteen abandoned inebriates had been for days and nights together carousing in a fireman's club house until delirium tremens ensued. As soon as reason began to return, one of them stung, with feeling of deep self reproach, declared his intention never to drink another drop, and urged his comrads to join him. His proposition was heartily agreed to, and a league was formed which from that day to the present has rapidly increased in its membership ‘till it now numbers several thousand staunch confederates.
